The MAGA mob that invaded the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday swiped a laptop from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office, an aide told Reuters.

The pro-Trump mob that attacked the beacon of democracy stole many items as they trashed the building, including a laptop from Sen. Jeff Merkley’s office (D-OR). A now-infamous photo shows one rioter, a dad from Florida, gleefully making off with Pelosi’s podium.
